Casa Jardincitos is a restored home located in the historic Santiago neighborhood of Merida.  This modern home makes the most of the Yucatan tradition by blending indoor and outdoor living spaces.

Purposely set back from the road, the property offers a rare and covered front porch space, helping to seclude it from the heat and typical city noise of Centro.  It is within walking distance of the movie theater, zoo, park, art galleries, bakery, restaurants, and all that Centro has to offer.  It is also a quick walk to a large grocery store and, even better, the excellent mercado at Parque Santiago is only three blocks away, where you can find fresh local produce, meats, and fish year-round.  There is even a bakery across the street. 

The modern finishes and details of Casa Jardincitos are superb, but older remnants like the pasta tiled floors and authentic colonial doors remain.  Painted in vibrant colors, Casa Jardincitos reminds you that you are in the tropics but also create a feeling of happiness in the home.  The front of the home has an open floor plan which allows views of the pool and garden area and contains the living room, dining room, and kitchen.   There is also a full bathroom here to service the lower level and pool.  The kitchen has granite counter tops with a stainless steel, undermounted farm sink and custom cabinetry which are further accented by a full subway tile back splash.  It opens to a covered patio, the pool and outdoor living space.  The laundry/storage room is located off of the covered patio.

Upstairs you will find the home’s two bedrooms, complete with built-in storage and a built-in dresser in the master closet.  Both bedrooms have access to their own terraces to enjoy the morning and nighttime breezes.  There is a second, luxurious bathroom upstairs in addition to the one on the lower floor.

Outside is where most people in Merida spend their time.  With 4 porches, 2 on the main level & 2 more on the upper one, this home makes the most of this lifestyle, but most of your time will be spent near the pool.  The ample and filtered pool doesn’t disappoint. With fountains pouring into it for both sound and enjoyment, this pool comes fully equipped.  Exposed rock walls here also bring a natural feeling to the home.  To the rear of the pool is a UV shaded pergola featuring low maintenance plantings and is the perfect place for reading or relaxing. 

There are ceiling fans and 4 air conditioning units (living, kitchen & bedrooms) placed throughout the home for comfort during those times when the pool isn’t the answer.   This home has been an excellent rental property in the past.
